re: Stop with the money excuse; it takes time to build a program

5th nationally since NIL began. His last year at OM he retained 62.8% of his players, we retained 28% this season for reference. The year before at OM (2024) he retained the 2nd most players of any SEC team, in 2023 he retained 65%. So you’re just incorrect here.

Not one person has said lane is above criticism but throwing a full on tantrum because we aren’t contending in year 1 isn’t really reasonable either.
Also blindly comparing records and saying the team is basically the exact same as it was a year ago is lazy and dumb. The team is really not far off from being a contender, it’s just missing a few critical pieces.

Well said.
My expectation is a full review of his own performance when he completes the staff evaluation. If there are no changes over time and same results recur, then I will complain. Right now, I am just disappointed and upset over the loss to that school. They will get a home game in playoffs if not a bye. They are better than many other teams out there and may be only team that can play Georgia in a good game in the championship.

Kirby took 6 years at UGA.
Nick took 4 years at LSU and 3 years at Bama.
Harbaugh took damn near 10 years at Michigan.
Ryan Day took 6 years at OSU and still isn’t consistent.
These examples all have one thing in common: most of the years cited (and in some cases all) came from pre NIL era.
The concept of multi year development projects to rebuild a team is gone. Every year is a new rebuild as good players who are standing in a starters shadow transfer out and you have to find replacements in the portal.
HS recruiting is getting close to irrelevant. Be curious to see in a few years how many players stay with one school their entire careers.

Yeah and again with good interior OL play all 3 of our losses could have easily gone the other way as the losses are largely a result of an inability to finish drives or convert at critical times.
Really it says a lot about Lane that the offense has been as good as it is in year one with the flaws. So yeah another year of not being in the thick of it sucks but at least vs. the BK era I feel like we’re really close

Kiffin was an excellent talent recruiter and roster builder, but he operated with substantial roster turnover. He regularly rebuilt his team through the transfer portal rather than maintaining a consistent group of players.
And his rentention rate from his full six years @ Ole Miss is 56.1%
The leashes are shorter and shorter now with money involved

Every national championship last year in every sport was won with transfers.
Kiffin is just a bad coach. The players didn’t lose that game last night, Kiffin did.

this program is dead whether you want to admit it or not. 32 losses in the last 6.5 years.

I agree, however, I think Kiffin will have us up and running beginning next year. and even better the next year. What was it, 50 players arrived at LSU with the portal, and they are playing well, however, just inconsistent.

Cignetti made freaking Indiana into a playoff team in one year and won an NC in year two.
Stop with this. He can get credit for year 2 and being innovative in grabbing 26 and 27 year-olds from the portal, but in year 1 he played 1 ranked team in the regular season(Ohio St.) and got blasted. The remaining regular season schedule had a combined record of 26-62 (not including the Div II school). Even adding Ohio St. into that record it would be 33-64 combined record of all D1 teams they played in his first year, so no his first year doesn't mean shite. Their best win was 5-4 Michigan that year.

I mean you pretty much do if you have a competent coach. Every year the roster flips as if it’s year 1. They didn’t lose to Bama and ole Miss because Kiffin needs more time. This roster is super talented
Super talented???
Name a good O Lineman outside of Seaton and Moore (and Moore's really more just competent).
Name a top WR (a guy you'd draft) outside Harris.
Find me the great linebackers.
Who are the competent specialists?
List the backup/depth guys that can step in and we dont miss a beat.

Don’t know what to tell you if you don’t want to acknowledge the information and just sulk about the loss. Kiffin made bad decisions in this game, Baker cost us the other 2. The money on the roster was well spent and will be a foundation for the next couple years unless Kiffin decides to do a 180 on his roster building approach.

Why?
Posted on 11/8/26 at 8:18 pm to cbree88
It doesn’t
Our problems are O line and QB. Mostly QB. We miffed on Leavitt. He’s not terrible but he’s not a 5 million dollar QB either.

NIL has all the money out in the open now with a lot more flowing into way more programs than before.
When people shell out, they expect results. Yeah, it takes time, but the new paradigm does lend itself to allowing for that time.
